Nyayo and Kasarani stadiums have been closed for renovations and Ferdinand Omanyala has explained how the situation has forced athletes to train on murram tracks.
Africa's fastest man Ferdinand Omanyala has taken issue with the snail-pace of renovations being witnessed at the Kasarani and Nyayo stadia tracks that has seemingly slowed down preparations for the 2025 season.
The Olympian, whose African 100m record stands at 9.77 seconds, has been forced to look for an alternative venue to train, so that he can be in peak condition for the looming season.

According to Omanyala, the prolonged closure of these facilities has significantly impacted athletes' training routines, forcing some to resort to training on murram tracks.

Manchester United stars celebrate Benni McCarthy's appointment as Harambee Stars coach
Manchester United players congratulated Benni McCarthy on his appointment as Harambee Stars head coach.
"People have been training on murram tracks, and it’s unfortunate because we've taken too long to address this issue. The stadiums should have been completed by now. Kasarani has been closed for a year, and you can imagine the impact that has had. There's no other stadium that has been able to fill the gap, and now the season is here. I just hope the athletes have managed to adjust," Omanyala told Citizen Digital.
The government's decision to close the two facilities for facelift saw Omanyala shift his training sessions to the Athletics Tartan track at Kenyatta University and has been using the facility for the last four months. The track is also a standard-sized facility that has hosted various competitions, including being used as the Games Village during the U18 and U20 World Athletics Championships.

Nyayo and Kasarani are under reconstruction as Kenya prepares itself to host the postponed African Nations Championships in August as well as the 2027 Africa Cup of Nations. Phase II of renovations at Kasarani Stadium are making fine progress ahead of the April deadline.
Last week, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) and Kenya’s Local Organising Committee (LOC) provided an update on the ongoing renovations, confirming that the stadium remains on track for completion ahead of the August tournament. A key highlight of the latest progress report is the resumption of canopy installation at Kasarani, a crucial aspect of the stadium's modernization efforts.
The VIP section is also undergoing major enhancements, with the installation of retractable seats now resumed and making notable progress.
